I Have Some 'Splainin' to Do
Hi, fellow WA's! Please forgive me for the long absence - hence the title of this blog.
I took it upon myself to step back and take a sabbatical. I actually needed it. I had to take a step back and FOCUS - because to be frank, I lost it. I went from being gung-ho and learning everything that I needed to know, to being completely overwhelmed and mentally shutting down.
Yes, it can happen.
Along with starting WA and having my event planning business (which I love dearly and had the opportunity to start it online thanks to WA) I also had demanding projects that had to be finished. In the process of all of this happening, I lost my primary (get my bills paid every month) job. It rather sucks, but I'm over it. Between all of this happening and being a single parent of a pre-teen, I became...fried. I had to step back. I had to take inventory and ask myself, "What am I DOING?"
What WAS I doing?
Why am I doing too much at one time?
What AM I going to do now?
Well, I knew what I wasn't going to do - QUIT!
Not at all! I accomplished so much in two months that I would be a complete fool to quit. In WA, I managed to start a website from the bare minimum and knowing absolutely NOTHING, to having a website and completing two WA courses. I'm also starting the WA Bootcamp as I already shared my link to others. I actually OWN my URL and learned how to use keywords to help my website flourish. I also applied to affiliate programs that coincides with my niche and not for nothing, saved myself thousands of dollars if I would have used a webmaster. That was a goal of mine that I am so happy to have reached - although I have a great deal more to learn.
"So Donnie, what are you going to do now? What is your next goal?"
My next set of goals are pretty much what everyone wants - to make money! I know it's not an overnight thing, but if I keep a clear-cut path, I'm good to go. Also, I would like to actually help others achieve their dreams like others did for me. I'm a "Pay it Forward" type of person and I feel that it's the right thing to do. So Ambassador's Program? Absolutely!
That's pretty much it. It's not a learning lesson like I usually post, but if someone learns from it - that's great. Thanks for reading, and until next time....:)
-Donnie ;)

Way to bounce back! It seems like every time I take 2 steps forward, Life plots to interrupt and throw me a step back. Finding the determination and energy to accomplish what you have in spite of being a parent, etc., is a serious accomplishment. Go girl!

Donnie, I've been going through something similar as you. I was going along really well, but when I got to Pinterest, I just couldn't get it. Still don't, so I've decided to just keep adding content to my website, and not do any more lessons. I think I am just starting to feel information overload.
Good thing that you understand what you need to do.
